The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero has been invited by the Nigeria Police Force for “interview” on charges connected to “criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion and cyber crime”
Benson Upah, the NLC spokesperson, made this known on Monday.
The letter of invitation signed by ACP Adamu Mu’azu on behalf of Commissioner of Police Intelligence dated August 19, 2024, says Ajaero’s name was mentioned in on-going investigations connected to ” criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, reasonable felony, subversion and cyber crime”.
Accordingly, the letter directed Ajaero to report at the IRT Complex, Abbattoir by Guzape Junction on Tuesday, August 20th at 10:00 am threatening that a warrant of arrest would be issued against him if he failed to report.
Upah said a personal message sent to Comrade Joe Ajaero by SP Moshood said, “We were at the Labour House to submit this (letter of invitation) but the place was locked sir”.
“We find this curious because staff were in the office beyond 6pm,” the statement reads.
“We also note that Comrade Joe Ajaero was not addressed by his official title of President of the Nigeria Labour Congress.”
